Jaehshon Thomas Jaehshon Thomas 6'1" | PG Whitney Young | 2021 State IL (Whitney Young)
Thomas had an excellent day. Continues to be a prospect that in our eyes isn’t getting enough attention on the recruiting trail. The 6’2” combo guard has good strength and feel for the game. Thomas is a high level shot maker from the point guard spot. He is most effective creating his own shot off the bounce or pulling up in transition for threes and mid-range jumpers. Also mixed in some tough drives for scoop shots and overall controlled the pace.
Grant Newell Grant Newell 6'7" | PF Whitney Young | 2021 State IL (Whitney Young)
Newell played well when we saw him last month and continued that momentum with a strong outing at the Meanstreets mini camp. The 6’7” face up four man played with energy on both ends. Opened the day with a big blocked shot. On the offensive end he was quick to the glass for put backs. Worked very well in the pick/roll as a finisher. Drilled several triples off the catch. Also had a nice take, jump stop, and layup.
Brandon Hall Brandon Hall 6'6" | PG Thornton | 2021 State IL (Thornton)
Hall is a jumbo guard with strength. The Thornton guard is like a freight train with the ball in his hands going downhill. Plays bully ball going right at the defense finishing through contact with bodies bouncing off him. Also a high level rebounder from his guard spot getting second chance points in that manner.
Sean Burress Sean Burress 6'0" | PG Thornton | 2021 IN (Thornton)
Burress is a sneaky combo guard that could garner D2 looks with a strong senior campaign. Solid jump shooter that can hit off the catch and is a capable passer off a live dribble.
